Description
The Baptist Chapel, built in 1845 with a Sunday School and vestry added to the east in 1874, is located on Ermine Street in Caxton. It is constructed of yellow gault brick and features a slate roof with an end stack at the east gable. The chapel is a single-storey building with two galleries and a two-storey rear extension. The gable facing the street has a symmetrical facade, with pilastered quoins and plastered brick bands at the eaves and sill height. The entrance features plain moulded stone architraves with a rectangular fanlight and double panelled doors, as well as two gallery windows with twelve-paned hung sashes.
Inside, there are open and partly closed galleries on the east and west sides, a pine boarded ceiling, and pine seating. A wall memorial made of white and black marble with a painted black inscription commemorates the founder, Samuel Fordham (1794-1876). The chapel's first meetings took place in the barns of Red Lion Farm.
